Lum Berry Rayquaza. I know that this dragon I always envy lives to abuse Choice Band/scarf. But to have Lum berry ... that's just an insulting salt to my wounds. Yeah, y jirachi never find it fun in Ubers... Sigh. That B****.

Gligar in UU. I never even get to KO one by myself even if I have Ice moves, no thanks to eviolite.

Well the most annoying pokemon i ever faced are usually the pokes that are more likely to be on some kind of weather team. Especially when i didn't use a weather team of my own xP then when i do i have to win the weather war which means even more prediction to keep my weather guy alive to their weather guy dies T_T But if i had to pick 1 poke it would be Blissey xP That thing takes forever to bring down because of its superior HP Stat. Which is why i always carry 1-2 physical pokemon tto counter one.

Yes I know, weather is so annoying, especially when combined with a stat condition like poison or burn. Mainly because I'm impatient and I hate waiting for it to say "The sun is shining" or "Pokemon X is damaged by the hail" every turn.

Ever heard of a strategy that has been said to be a gimmick, but have discovered that if you don't have the right Pokemon for it, it can be incredibly difficult to get past? This is what I have faced countless times on random matchup. Since there's no restrictions, like evasion and sleep clause, people take advantage of it, and use incredibly annoying Pokemon. The biggest example of this I have ever faced is a Prankster Liepard with Substitute, Assist, Swagger, and Foul Play, and it held leftovers. On the first turn, it used assist, and the random move it chose was Spore. it then set up substitute, and kept using Swagger, then used Foul Play to wear my Pokemon down. When my Pokemon woke up and used a move to break the Sub, it would use assist again. At this point, I was thinking the the other two Pokemon he chose must only know Spore. I lost that match due to that strategy.

So what Pokemon have you faced that annoyed the heck out of you?

This so very, very much.

Actually no it's not luck based unfortunatly. The team members are 1). Smeargle with spore and trick/switcheroo and spore to punish leads with substitute/sleep healing berry. and 2). Ditto/ another pokmeon with moves assist won't use aside from spore. Basically this gives the cat priority spore and substitute and there is nothing you can do about it aside from insomnia and sleep talk.

Like the old chinese say:
Only Noctowl and hoothoot have better eyes
for the dark than for the light

A super annoying combination are Wobbuffet + Gothitelle, both with Shadow Tag. Wobbuffet uses Encore, most likely on a set up move, recovery move, hazard move, sub, etc. Gothitelle switches in, with 252 hp / 252 def, tricks Choice Scarf so even after the encore ends, that Pokemon is worthless. Gothitelle proceeds to get +6/6 Calm Mind, while being very bulky physically as well. Psyshock and HP Fighting round out the "ugh..." feeling with near flawless coverage attacking both physical and special and can't be walled by anything but Sableye and Spiritomb.

I will second Sableye/Liepard/Murkrow with Sub/Swagger/Roost/Recover/TWave/Foul Play etc as being super annoying as well. I faced a team with all Prankster users, and it wasn't fun.

^ That duo can't get past Tyranitar coupled with an U-turn user. Also, you said Gothitelle can't be walled by anything but Sableye and Spiritomb, well, there's also Quagsire. I rarely see Wobba, Gothitelle is somewhat more popular though.

paraflinch Jirachi combined with a Dragonite that was almost like a parashuffle, but not. I could tell they put thought into how the two complimented each other defensively, but it was a pain in the *** to beat.

"Run away? We could have ran away at any time we wanted, but would we find true freedom if we ran away from our problems? We may succeed in a temporary escape, but unless we grasp true victory by fighting we'd live in constant fear that our freedom might be taken again. It's meaningless unless freedom is earned through winning battles."

Except Tornadus-T has more than one counter. 110 special attack is low by uber standards. Now if you're playing on PO I get your point because Tornadus-T is still OU there. But in ubers, Tornadus-T sucks and is outclassed.

Showdown's not cooperating with me, so yeah, back on PO. That confusion can be a problem though in Ubers...with my luck, my opponent always get's it.

I have to say it is Scizor on every random match up. Scizor utterly obliterates me with stab bullet punch and technician after swords dance. Politoed and Kingdra come to mind as well. It just spams muddy water while Politoed gives it rain support. When I try and use fake out, I always guess wrong and end up hitting the pokemon that gets switched.... It is ****ing annoying.

I really, really, hate Calm Mind Latias. It's not THAT difficult to counter it, but, since I'm new at online battling, I'm usually not prepared to counter it. Specially Roost variants (there's some people that are not using Roost with CM)
Not to mention when her comes with a Draco Meteor instead of 'Pulse. It annoys me SO much! I want to die sometimes when i face her '¬¬
